XXII. Drug-free Workplace Statement

It is the intent of the Administration of Lesley University to
make a good-faith effort to provide a drug-free workplace for its
regular and student employees both in terms of procedure and
results. To this end, the unlawful manufacture, distribution,
dispensation, possession or use of a controlled substance is
prohibited in the workplace of Lesley University. Any employee of
Lesley University who is convicted on a violation of this
principle, will be subject to an appropriate measure of discipline
that could result in termination of his/her employment with the
University. As a condition of employment, all employees must abide
by the terms of this statement and report to the Director of Human
Resources any conviction under a criminal drug statute for conduct
in the workplace no later than five days after the conviction. Any
employee so convicted, and who is not terminated from employment,
may be required to participate satisfactorily in a drug-abuse
assistance or rehabilitation program acceptable to the University
Administration as a continuation of employment. In keeping with the
intent of the Drug-Free Workplace Act, Lesley University will
continue an on-going drug awareness program that will be made
available to all employees who directly engage in work under the
provisions of a grant or contract. A copy of this statement will be
provided to all employees working under the Federal contract or
grant.
